“As historic jewelry trends come back into style, natural diamond-embellished coin jewelry is finally experiencing the revival it deserves.

Dating back to ancient Rome and the Byzantine Empire, coin jewelry has been treasured for centuries, from Egypt and India to Renaissance Europe. Often worn as symbols of protection, these coins feature everything from ruling emperors to Indian deities, Greek gods, and other revered figures.

Modern history has seen coin jewelry make several comebacks, from 1970s Bohemia to 1990s Chanel costume jewelry sweeping the runways. Today, the hottest jewelry designers are crafting ultra-desirable coin jewelry dusted in natural diamonds.

Enduring over millennia, Gurhan Orhan, founder and designer of GURHAN, tells Only Natural Diamonds, “A coin contains human history; a natural diamond contains the history of the earth.” He says, “Ancient coins absorb light; diamonds release it.”

“The diamonds should never compete with the coin. They should wake it up. They may illuminate a face, follow the rhythm of an inscription, or create a halo around something that has survived for centuries. The coin has already had one life. The diamonds help me give it another.”

“Here, learn all about the history and evolution of coin jewelry and how natural diamonds have breathed new life into the ancient technique.”
